Is it bad for your hair to wash it every day?



Answers:
It depends on what KIND of hair you have. But washing your hair every day strips the natural oils and nutrients that keep it strong and healthy. If you feel that you must wash it every day, make sure that you are using a good conditioner each time you wash, and maybe think about adding a weekly deep treatment. It will help keep your hair from breaking and drying out.

Normal hair can hold up to daily washings as long as you make sure you use a good conditioner to keep it moisturized.
Oily hair might need to daily washings to keep it from looking greasy, but again a good conditioner on the ends to help keep it from breaking.
If your hair is dry, then you should not wash it every day. The hair needs to extra oils and natural nutrients to keep it healthy. Dry hair will not only break easily, it also can cause split ends and brittle hair.

Short hair doesn't need as much oils to keep it healthy, where as longer hair will absorb more of the oils your scalp produces. Fine hair absorbs less oils, thick heavy hair absorbs more. Adding styling products can also add to the build up in your hair, so it needs to be washed out every day. Many of the chemical ingrediants can also attract dust and other air born pollutiants, so you may need to wash it every day to keep it clean from that.

You have to be the one to judge when your hair looks and feels like it needs to be washed. Consider your hair type, length, texture, products being used, and then figure out if it needs daily, every other day, or even twice a week washings. Use your best judgment, and when in doubt, talk to your stylist (or who ever cuts your hair) about what is best for you.
Yes I think it is.
i heard it breaks down the nutrients in your hair
Probably. It's not good to over-do things.
If you don't condition it well then it can be a bad thing. It also depends on your hair and scalp type. If you tend to have really fine hair and/or a sensitive scalp, wwashing every day can be damaging.
Washing every day strips hair of natural oils, if you do want to wash every day use a mild shampoo.
Yes removes all the oil your hair needs.
If you have to wash every day there is special mild shampoo that you can buy.
not if u use shampoo sparingly. Do not use a dryer
Typically. you should wash every other day.. why are you washing every day? Do you feel oily? If so. use a clarify shampoo one wash per week, and you should feel that you'll get a little further between your shampoos, as this will help balance an oily scalp. Washing daily can dry hair out terribly.. Hope this helps.
Yeah it is actually..I heard this on the news a long time ago (they were running out of stuff to talk about i guesS) and I think about it everytime I wash my hair haha. They said that repetitive hair washing everyday can cause you to lose hair.And it's not because of the soap it's because of the actual scrubbing of the hair. Some people scrub really hard and that's not good for maintaining hair either they said.
Yes.
You're hair kinda needs to be dirty, washing it on a daily basis can really dry it our, as well as using to much hair gel and/or spray.
I was told apparently it is although it hasn't stopped me i still wash mine everday. I cant stand the thought of unclean hair
It can be very drying. If this is so, rinse your hair thoroughly every other day and just apply conditioner to the ends (not roots as your scalp may get oily) and rinse. It will look like you washed it and will stlye normally, without drying it out.
Yes! I think it takes all your natural oils and nutrients out. Your hair becomes more breakable so you end up with more split ends.
I think so - too much pulling on the roots & you won't HAVE any hair to wash!
It's not the best thing. If you can get away with it, you should not wash your hair everyday but maybe wet it down in the morning and restyle.
Depends upon the type of shampoo and your type of hair. There are mild shampoos which could be used everyday, especially on oily hair.
Depends what you wash it with.

Every other day I use shampoo; on the other days I just wash it with water.
yes it is bad to wash your hair everyday,because all the natural oils your body and hair holds is like a free oil conditioning treatment..try it .Deb.
~I would say definately yes.
~ Washes out all the natural oils.
~ (It is said) People who never wash their hair have the best hair (although I've never been brave enough to try it - my mother knew a lady who had 'never-washed' wonderful hair.)
My opinion would be yes. I think shampoo dries out a person's hair. I think it is better to wash your hair only 2-3 times per week. Check any hair website and you will find the same advise.
I have washed my hair every day for as long as I can remember, and it's not damaged my hair one bit.

I wash my body every day, so therefore why shouldn't I have a clean bonce too
everyday will ruin anyone's hair and make it light and fluffy, but once every 2 - 3 day or so is all right to get rid or excess oils
Yes because you don't give natural oils in your to get established.
Unless your hair is very short and you use alot of product (gels mousses, etc) washing every day is unneccessary and can cause your hair to be dryer than it would be if you did not wash it every day. However most people wash everyday more out of ritual or just because they feel they can style their hair better if it is freshly washed. If your scalp is oily and you wash everyday, you will inadvertenly stimulate the scalp to produce more oils. If your scalp is dry, you will dry not only the scalp more but the natural oils that the hair needs from the scalp will be washed away. try washing every other day for a while and see how your hair responds. if you feel that you need to get it wet to style it, (or just feel the need to "get it wet" everyday), try using condition as a "shampoo" and "lathering" it through the hair. You may find that your hair responds better if you let it rest from shampooing for a day two or even more.

yes
ı think it is bad for hairs to be washed every day. since my uncle is a coiffeur he says that washing frequently causes the hair to lose its ceratine and ceratine gives the hair its brightness. i think we should wash our hair every other day at least.
yes
I don't think it's bad to wash our hair everyday, but once to twice a day is enough. I have read a report on a newspaper a few months ago. It stated that washing our hair daily is good as it keeps you clean. It's more hygenic. But it's not good to wash too many times of course. Just keep it twice a day is enough. I wash my hair once a day normally. If I go for any sports game, I definitely wash my hair twice to prevent it from having foul smells. I hope this helps you. :D
